TARRAGON & THYME

  The Christmas stocking I made from a kit.  This one is mine as I Iove it so much even though it is not the fanciest of stockings. It is a little creased as it has been in a box with lots of other things. I thought I would also show you the lights that I bought the other day lit up now that they have their batteries in them.  I am a bit cack-handed when getting into things such as battery holders etc but OH came to the rescue although he initially struggled. First of all the snowflake ones. I think that these are really pretty and I may try and go and get some more if I can.   Then the little red berry ones.  These look different depending where you place them. They look more red on the first picture which they are. In the second photo they look more white. I am still pleased with both sets.  They add a bit more glitz. I am rather fond of this tree decoration and I have two of these. I tend to do things in pairs. Also, here is one of the Advent Calendars. ...

  I found a couple of these fairy/ballerina figurines. Some shimmering stars from M & S.  Sadly about four of them were broken.  I think something had been accidentally put on them.  I had not appreciated that they were plastic. Sputnik Decorations from The Range last year. There are about six of these. I never got them put out still have their labels on. These are based on Victorian Style decorations.  Pull the strings in the middle and the arms and legs wave akimbo.  There is a Santa Claus and a Reindeer.

A couple of traditional glass candle holders. A couple of brass tealight holders.  They need a good clean before putting out as they were used last year.  I do have a Star Ceiling light as well which these were bought to go with.  I have a ...

  The first item is a Christmas stocking that I made a few years ago from one of those pre-quilted panel pieces that you normally find at Christmas.  I have had this one at least 10 years. Another Advent Calendar.  A set of four Christmas Stockings purchased from BHS when they were trading.  It is a store I very much miss. A Christmas tree skirt for one of the trees.  I have some kits that I would like to work through next year as well. Two Angelic Ornaments bought over 30 years ago I think from Studio Cards. Another Christmas stocking.  There are two of these with lovely Jingle Bells on the side. Two mini-stockings for visiting Elves! One of the Santa Stop Here Signs. A Charity shop find from last year.  This should be a light up Angel but the battery side did not work and it was chopped out and just sold as a freestanding angel by the shop concerned. A more modern fairy also from the Charity shop. So a few more decorations sorted.  Still loads t...
